This may be of interest to users of gretl on Windows. There's a new snapshot in place with departs from our "traditional" packages in two main ways: the GUI toolkit is GTK3, not GTK2, and we link against the "new" Microsoft C library, UCRT (which has been supplied with Windows since the first release of Windows 10). Several other components of the package have also been updated.

The snapshot can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/gretl_install-win6...

Our plan is to replace the previous 64-bit version of gretl for Windows with this one as of the next release. However, we'd be grateful if people could test it before then and report any problems.

Hello all, This may be of interest to users of gretl on Windows.

Our plan is to replace the previous 64-bit version of gretl for Windows with this one as of the next release. However, we'd be grateful if people could test it before then and report any problems. If you're willing to test and do run into problems, there's an easy fallback: uninstall the snapshot then reinstall one of the packages available at https://gretl.sourceforge.net/win32/ Thanks, Allin _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/

A new thing I'm seeing is that the icons in the main window are now quite a bit larger than before, especially relative to the font size. Not saying that the icon sizes are bad, it's probably an improvement. But the menu font was really small in comparison. Again, could be some leftover setting from previous installations.
